Dear C,

She is gone. I don’ know where she is at. The emptiness gnaws at my insides like a cancer. I have to find her. You can’t stop me, so don’t try. Only this is certain: Everything is fluid now. Brother, you will never see me again.

Love,
P.E.

P.E. has risked it all to find Q. Reality itself is at stake. The foundation of the world is slowly crumbling. The city smolders beneath his feet. His heart is at the breaking point.

“Let the World Burn” is the story of how a young man’s quest for love leads to the world’s destruction. In the game the players will build a world and slowly let love’s destructive powers bring it down. It is a poetic tale examining love within a strange but still recognizable present, where one person’s defiance ends up tipping the scales. The gap between the knowledge of the player and the knowledge of the character drives the immersion, because the Woman is not real but the characters will never realize that. The players will play P.E, the best friend O.D., the dead brother C., what is left of Love, and the creating power of Destruction.

Kære C,

Jeg ved ikke, hvor hun er. Og jeg ved ikke, hvorfor hun er væk. Tomheden gnaver i mig som en cancer. Jeg er nødt til at finde hende. Du kan ikke stoppe mig, så lad være med at forsøge. Det eneste jeg med sikkerhed ved, er at alting flyder nu – så bror, vi vil aldrig se hinanden igen.

Kærligst
P.E.


P.E. har sat alt ind på at genfinde Q. Selve virkeligheden er på spil. Verdens fundament slår revner i det små. Byen gløder under hans søgende fødder. Hjertet brister i hans bryst.

I “Lad Verden Brænde” ender en ung mands søgen efter kærlighed med at ødelægge verden. Det er en poetisk fortælling om kærlighed i en mærkelig men stadig genkendelig verden, hvor én mands trods bliver den endelige tunge på vægtskålen. Samtidigt er det et scenarie, hvor spændingen imellem spillernes og spilpersonernes viden er grundlaget for indlevelsen og oplevelsen, fordi Kvinden ikke findes, men spilpersonerne kan aldrig indse det. Spillerne skal spille P.E., den bedste ven O.D., den afdøde bror C, hvad der er tilbage af Kærligheden, samt den skabende kraft Destruktion.
